Memory of Azov (Fabergé egg)

The Memory of Azov Egg of 1891, from Alexander III to Maria Feodorovna. The shell is carved from a single piece of bloodstone and laced with gold rococo scrolls. The photo shows its surprise beside it: an exact replica of the cruiser Memory of Azov in precious metals, with diamond-set windows, resting on a slab of aquamarine for the sea. It never left Russia and is in the Kremlin Armoury Museum in Moscow.
